    What is Sinners about?Set in the 1930s Jim Crow-era South, Sinners stars Michael B. Jordan in a dual role as Smoke and Stack, twin brothers who return to their hometown with the goal of setting up a juke joint — only for its grand opening to be disrupted by something supernaturally monstrous."There are vampires in the film, but it's really about a lot more than just that. It's one of many elements, and I think we're gonna surprise people with it," director Ryan Coogler explained at a press conference.Check out the official trailer:

    Is Sinners worth watching?Sinners is a huge success story for original horror. It's only the second movie in 2025 to pass the million domestic box office milestone and is one of the 10 highest-grossing horror movies to date. Not only has it been a smash hit at the box office, now climbing to over million worldwide and million domestically, but the reviews are outstanding. It currently holds a near-perfect 97 percent critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 96 percent audience rating. That's no easy feat."Sinners is more than a hell of a thrilling vampire movie. Like Black Panther, it expands beyond the expectations of its genre to become a magnificent film, emanating with spirit, power, and purpose," Mashable's Kristy Puchko writes in her review of the film. "Smoothly blending vampire horror into a unique tale of regret, resilience, and redemption, Coogler and Jordan have made a cinematic marvel that is terrifying, satisfying, and unforgettable."Read our full review of Sinners.How to watch Sinners at home

  • TSMC's 2nm wafer prices hit $30,000 as SRAM yields reportedly hit 90%

    In context: TSMC has steadily raised the prices of its most advanced semiconductor process nodes over the past several years – so much so that one analysis suggests the cost per transistor hasn't decreased in over a decade. Further price hikes, driven by tariffs and rising development costs, are reinforcing the notion that Moore's Law is truly dead.
    The Commercial Times reports that TSMC's upcoming N2 2nm semiconductors will cost per wafer, a roughly 66% increase over the company's 3nm chips. Future nodes are expected to be even more expensive and likely reserved for the largest manufacturers.
    TSMC has justified these price increases by citing the massive cost of building 2nm fabrication plants, which can reach up to million. According to United Daily News, major players such as Apple, AMD, Qualcomm, Broadcom, and Nvidia are expected to place orders before the end of the year despite the higher prices, potentially bringing TSMC's 2nm Arizona fab to full capacity.
    Also see: How profitable are TSMC's nodes: crunching the numbers
    Unsurprisingly, Apple is getting first dibs. The A20 processor in next year's iPhone 18 Pro is expected to be the first chip based on TSMC's N2 process. Intel's Nova Lake processors, targeting desktops and possibly high-end laptops, are also slated to use N2 and are expected to launch next year.
    Earlier reports indicated that yield rates for TSMC's 2nm process reached 60% last year and have since improved. New data suggests that 256Mb SRAM yield rates now exceed 90%. Trial production is likely already underway, with mass production scheduled to begin later this year.
    // Related Stories

    With tape-outs for 2nm-based designs surpassing previous nodes at the same development stage, TSMC aims to produce tens of thousands of wafers by the end of 2025.

    TSMC also plans to follow N2 with N2P and N2X in the second half of next year. N2P is expected to offer an 18% performance boost over N3E at the same power level and 36% greater energy efficiency at the same speed, along with significantly higher logic density. N2X, slated for mass production in 2027, will increase maximum clock frequencies by 10%.
    As semiconductor geometries continue to shrink, power leakage becomes a major concern. TSMC's 2nm nodes will address this issue with gate-all-aroundtransistor architectures, enabling more precise control of electrical currents.
    Beyond 2nm lies the Angstrom era, where TSMC will implement backside power delivery to further enhance performance. Future process nodes like A16and A14could cost up to per wafer.
    Meanwhile, Intel is aiming to outpace TSMC's roadmap. The company recently began risk production of its A18 node, which also features gate-all-around and backside power delivery. These chips are expected to debut later this year in Intel's upcoming laptop CPUs, codenamed Panther Lake.

Intel's Nova Lake processors, targeting desktops and possibly high-end laptops, are also slated to use N2 and are expected to launch next year. Earlier reports indicated that yield rates for TSMC's 2nm process reached 60% last year and have since improved. New data suggests that 256Mb SRAM yield rates now exceed 90%. Trial production is likely already underway, with mass production scheduled to begin later this year. // Related Stories With tape-outs for 2nm-based designs surpassing previous nodes at the same development stage, TSMC aims to produce tens of thousands of wafers by the end of 2025. TSMC also plans to follow N2 with N2P and N2X in the second half of next year. N2P is expected to offer an 18% performance boost over N3E at the same power level and 36% greater energy efficiency at the same speed, along with significantly higher logic density. N2X, slated for mass production in 2027, will increase maximum clock frequencies by 10%. As semiconductor geometries continue to shrink, power leakage becomes a major concern. TSMC's 2nm nodes will address this issue with gate-all-around (GAA) transistor architectures, enabling more precise control of electrical currents. Beyond 2nm lies the Angstrom era, where TSMC will implement backside power delivery to further enhance performance. Future process nodes like A16 (1.6nm) and A14 (1.4nm) could cost up to $45,000 per wafer. Meanwhile, Intel is aiming to outpace TSMC's roadmap. The company recently began risk production of its A18 node, which also features gate-all-around and backside power delivery. These chips are expected to debut later this year in Intel's upcoming laptop CPUs, codenamed Panther Lake.

  • EA’s Black Panther Cancelled Due to Long Pre-Production Phase – Rumor

    Electronic Arts’ recent cancellation of Black Panther and the closure of Cliffhanger Games are the latest for the publisher as it looks to focus on key franchises like The Sims, Apex Legends, etc. However, its partnership with Marvel continues, which makes Black Panther’s cancellation that much more mysterious.
    Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier spoke to sources familiar with the project, and it was alleged to still be in the pre-production phase since starting development about four years prior. It led to frustration among leadership, even though Black Panther passed a “gate,” EA’s term for “a development milestone where executives review a game’s progress and decide whether to continue production.”
    Cliffhanger was founded in 2021, and building up the studio alongside the title proved challenging, and an “elongated” ideation period, combined with high salaries due to the studio’s base in Kirkland, Washington, didn’t help. The team reportedly began scaling up only recentlyto create a vertical slice.
    EA isn’t completely done with Marvel titles, though, as development on Motive’s Iron Man continues. Stay tuned for more updates in the meantime.

  • Disney+ New Releases: June 2025

    There may not be a ton of new releases coming to Disney+ this month, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t plenty to be excited about.
    The beginning of June sees the return of Phineas and Ferbwith the first 10 episodes of season 5. This is the first time new episodes have been released since the series ended a decade ago in June 2015, but it’s sure to be an exciting new season for both new and old fans alike as Phineas, Ferb, and their friends once again try to make their summer one to remember. Dr. Doofenshmirtz and his nemesis Perry the Platypus are also set to make their return, so there will definitely be some ‘evil’ hijinks mixed in as well.

    A professional recording of Frozen: The Hit Broadway Musical is set to hit Disney+ on June 20. This reimagining of the animated movie features twelve new songs and thrilling surprises. Even if you’ve seen the movie a dozen times, you’ve never seen the story quite like this.
    To finish out the month, Marvel’s Ironheart premieres on June 24 with the first three episodes. Set after Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, this series follows genius inventor and tech prodigy Riri Williams as she returns home to Chicago and becomes caught up with the mysterious and charming Parker Robbins a.k.a. The Hood. Riri may be incredibly gifted, but her skills will be put to the ultimate test when she has to go up against some powerful magic.
